Solana’s verified X account just launched a surgical strike on Starknet – and didn’t miss it. Without warning, the L1 giant ridiculed the usage statistics and valuation of the Ethereum layer-2 solution in a post destined to explode on Crypto Twitter.
The numbers are not pulled out of thin air. Starknet’s daily on-chain activity has been comically low in recent weeks, despite its token launch reaching a market cap of $1 billion and a fully diluted fantasy of $15 billion.
Starknet has 8 daily active users, 10 daily transactions, and somehow still has a 1 billion MC and 15 billion FDV.
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Interestingly, just hours before, Starknet itself posted an encrypted message with a chart from DeFiLlama showing that its total value locked (TVL) had just crossed $300 million for the first time since Q1 2024.
According to the Starknet account, the “numbers don’t lie” and DeFi interest in the chain is far from dead, even if daily activity metrics lag.
STRK vs. SOL
Of course, the symbolic action of prices is at the center of the drama. SOL is up 17% since the start of 2026, while STRK has surged almost 16% in the last three days alone. But broader charts show that STRK has been buried in a -95% decline since its mid-2024 listing, while the Solana token maintains a 35% gain from that period.
This public announcement was not only about the measures. This was Solana using her official voice to publicly question the legitimacy of a competing ZK rollup. The L1 versus L2 rivalry intensifies, and when a top 10 protocol tells another channel to “go to zero,” it’s no longer business as usual: it’s open season.
